The lack on local multiplayer is a killer for me, I have always played the game with friends. I’m not going to even bother with the game at this point what a waste of money.
I agree with you that the lack of local multiplayer is a serious issue, but the game is still great, and will continue to get better as 343 rolls out new game modes. Hopefully they can include local multiplayer in the future or at the very least Halo 6
